Description
This unique wine offers generous aromas of blackberry, chocolate-covered cherries and espresso that jump out of the glass. These notes give way to a full midpalate filled with a purity of black cherry flavors, accented by dusky dark cocoa and toffee notes. Fine-grained tannins offer mouth-filling structure from start to end and a full velvety texture. Estate bottled.
